The card has just been approved. Yahoooo~~
I have zero debt, no outstanding of credit card, no housing and car loan. All were provided by parents.
I normally request the bank to reduce my credit limit to 3 to 10K when I received my card because
I feel insecure to hold credit card with high credit limit.
Maybank 2 card platinum Visa = 3 K (reduced from 15 K)
CIMB World Mastercard = 10 K (reduced from 30 K)
Mach by Hong Leong Visa Signature = 10 K (reduced from 20 K)
AmBank World Mastercard = 30 K (newly approved, will request to reduce the C.L. to 5 K upon receiving the card).
Public Bank Visa Signature = 30 K (newly approved, will request to reduce the C.L. to 5 K upon receiving the card).
My ideal total credit limit is 25 K for all cards.
Maybank - cancel it since no more attractive 5% cash back
CIMB - further reduce the C.L. to 5 K if allowed by the cs.
Mach - cancel it since the cs refuse to decrease further my C.L.
Ambank and Public bank - would try to request to reduce the C.L. to 5 K each.
Honestly speaking, I have no idea why many ppl opt to get a higher credit limit which expose yourself
to higher risk of credit card fraud case. Any advice?
High CL could be useful during urgent times like paying expensive medical bills, it may take some time for the banks to increase back your CL.
